Multinational case reports on a small number of children who have had COVID-19, or possibly exposed to the novel coronavirus, tell of a potentially fatal widespread reaction that could lead to cardiac or respiratory failure and shock.

People will often ask, "Why would a good and perfect God allow bad things to happen?" This question seems all the more relevant today as all of humanity is suffering from the current COVID-19 pandemic.

In an executive order, dated May 1, 2020, our president made this declaration:

If you’ve ever taken a hike, then you’ve enjoyed the beauty of trees. They are blessings we should thank God for.¹ Trees are exhibits of God’s creation, corroborating Genesis history.^1,2 They provide oxygen, homes for creatures, and many other benefits.

We’re all walking through a revolutionary and uncertain time. For us here at ICR, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused swift changes to our daily operations and ability to serve our staff, volunteers, community, and faithful friends.
